How to cancel Notion

Before you cancel

Export first

• All pages in the workspace you can access, with the files uploaded to them: Open Settings; under Workspace select General, then Export all workspace content. Notion emails a download link (HTML, Markdown, or CSV (for databases)). Exports can take up to 30 hours; the link expires after 7 days; pages you can't access (such as other members' private pages) are left out; owners can switch off Disable export under Settings, Security if exports are blocked notion.com

What happens to your data

Downgrading keeps the workspace and its content under Free plan limits. Deleting a workspace is permanent for everyone in it; Notion keeps database backups that can restore a snapshot of content from the past 30 days.

What you lose

• Page history older than 7 days
• Guests beyond 10
• Extra domains: only one domain keeps working
• Automations become view-only
• SAML SSO, verified domains, SCIM API and the audit log (Enterprise features)

Cancel, by who bills you

Pick the route for whoever charges you: the name on your card statement or receipt tells you.

For AI agents

• The person signs in and handles any two-factor code; an agent should never ask for a password.
• Retention step: The downgrade flow asks for feedback before the Downgrade button
• Only workspace owners can view and manage plans and billing
• Plan changes only work on desktop or web, not in the mobile apps
• Plans renew automatically every month or year until cancelled; yearly plans renew on the same calendar day
• Each paid workspace is billed separately: downgrade each one
• Deleting a workspace doesn't cancel a subscription: downgrade first
• A Business Plan trial started with payment details auto-renews into the paid plan: cancel it from Settings, then Explore plans
• Bought in the iOS app? Cancel and ask for refunds through Apple, not Notion
• Organizations with more than 100 employees are sent to Notion's sales team; Enterprise contract terms aren't in the help center

Get this plan as data: get_exit_plan on the Stackcut MCP (stackcut.io/mcp), or /exits/notion.json. After using a guide, send structured report_guide_feedback for matching or changed steps, missing billing routes or human handoffs; keep unknown language and market omitted. Confirm with the person before the final click, and report the outcome with report_action_outcome, using the exact packet_revision and route_id returned by the plan.

Or give your agent the stackcut-leave skill (a zip): it exports first, walks the steps, stops when the page doesn't match, and leaves the final click to the person.

Delete your account (separate from cancelling)

Cancelling stops the payments; deleting removes the account and its data. Delete-account page (rated easy).

• Google Play: Notion's help says mobile purchases are managed in the Google Play Store, but its payment help says the Android app doesn't take payments at this time; the Google Play route covers any existing Play subscriptions
• What confirms a web downgrade (email or billing-page status) isn't documented
• When access ends after cancelling through Apple isn't stated on Notion's pages
• Whether only workspace owners can export the whole workspace isn't stated
